In the biggest upset of the day, world number two Elena Rybakina lost to Yuliia Starodubtseva in an intense three-setter, 3-6, 6-1, 7-6. “It’s just a pity because I think I was practicing well before the French Open and I was feeling also good in the practices and thought that I can raise the level,” Rybakina said after the match. “But actually today it was a very bad performance, too many unforced errors, and I didn’t feel the greatest. So I was trying to find a way, but it clearly didn’t work.”

Jasmine Paolini, a French Open finalist two years ago, lost to Solana Sierra in three sets, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3. In an emotional post-match press conference, she discussed a foot injury that has kept her level down throughout the clay season — and the reason she chose not to play doubles at Roland-Garros this year.

If there is one player who is happy about Jelena Ostapenko’s early exit to Magda Linette, it’s Iga Swiatek. If the draw had played out according to seedings, the two would have faced each other in the next round. That’s not a great scenario for Swiatek, who is 0-6 against Ostapenko. Instead, she gets her fellow countrywoman in the next round.

And in truly heartbreaking fashion, Hailey Baptiste was forced to retire after collapsing on the court with a left knee injury. So many things have gone right this season for Baptiste after professionalizing all aspects of her career. Let’s hope this is a minor setback. An unintended consequence: The injury means we won’t see Venus Williams in doubles action, as the two were set to play together today.

The record: Arthur Rinderknech leads the head-to-head record over Matteo Berrettini 1-0. However, that single match ended in retirement three years ago at the U.S. Open.

On the line: Rinderknech no doubt wants to emerge the winner at his home slam, especially as the prime-time match. Meanwhile, Berrettini is desperate to prove (perhaps to himself more than anybody else) that he can play at the top level of the game again.
